Appalachian Ski Mtn.

Appalachian Ski Mtn. in Blowing Rock has been a go-to for winter fun in the High Country since 1962. With twelve slopes ranging from beginner-friendly to black diamond, plus two terrain parks and night skiing, the mountain offers something for every skill level. Lifts include two quad chairs, a double chair, two conveyor lifts and a handle-pull – all designed to keep lines moving and riders shredding. 

The 46,000-square-foot base lodge is Wi-Fi-equipped and home to a restaurant perfect for warming up between runs. Nearby slopeside lodgings make staying even easier with four chalets, all within a mile of the lodge available for both winter and summer getaways. Seasonal rentals for gear and apparel are available onsite, as is ice skating for those looking to mix things up. The French Swiss Ski School offers professional, friendly instruction for skiers and snowboarders of all ages and skill levels. Be sure to check season opening dates before you go.
